Will my iPhone 5s work in Belgium if I bought it as a T-Mobile contract-free one?

I'm planning to buy an iPhone in the States, but I have to make shure it works with my local carrier.
Anyone who can help me?

First you will get no warranty ,the warranty is not international nor is post warranty support.For service the device would have to be returned to US store in person to get warranty support There is NO mail or courier in from outside the US
There are posts where users  have purchased the T-mobile 5S from an Apple Store expecting it to be unlocked only to find it is locked "for first40 days "
so who knows
Theory says it will not work on LTE outside USA as the set of LTE bands is different yet some claim it may
so who knows
Apple made the new iPhones avaiilable today 25th in Belgium ,take the "IF" out of wasting your money and buy in Belgium

    If you want an unlocked iPhone then you have to wait until unlocked iPhones are sold, yes.

  • Will an iPhone 3GS work in iCloud?

    Will my iPhone 3GS work with iCloud? I realize I need OS5 on the phone to get the fancy stuff but will all the syncing still work with the calendar, addresses, notes and such?

    icloud is part of iOS5 which runs on the 3GS ( not on the 3G ), so everything in iCloud will work.
    To be able to sync between other devices, they must all run also iOS5 and for a Mac 10.7.2 Lion. PCs with XP wont work as Vista is needed.
    So if you have Macs that can't run Lion, PCs that don't have Vista/Win7  with Outlook07 / 10 or iOS devices that can't run version5 these will no longer sync with the iOS5 3GS.

  • Will my iphone gps work in a foreign country

    Will my iphone gps work in Italy and France?

    Yes.
    The iPhone uses A-GPS or assisted GPS which is to speed up the initial GPS acquisition from a cold start, but the iPhone includes a dedicated GPS receiver.

  • Is Iphone 6 GSM T-Mobile (contract free) will work in Egypt ?

    I want to buy IPhone 6 or 6 plus not sure yet, is GSM T-Mobile (contract free) will work in Egypt ?

    It will work as unlocked as long as you buy it from the Apple Store. You will not have warranty or out of warranty service in Egypt, even if you are willing to pay for it. So should the phone develop a problem, you will have to take the phone to the US for service. LTE/4G is not guaranteed to work.
    So, my advice is for you to buy the phone in Egypt. You will save yourself from future headaches.

  • I want to know that if, I buy iphone 6 with t- mobile contract free from USA. It will work in India or not?

    I want to know that if, I buy iphone 6 with t- mobile contract free from USA. It will work in India or not?

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 5s t-mobile contract free work in other countries?

    I want to buy an Iphone 5s at Apple Store, not in Online Store. Will it works with another GSM operators in different countries?
    Im living in Ukraine, and my friend will deliver 5s T-mobile contract free, to me, in two weeks.
    I repeat : It was not purchased in "online Apple Store" he's purchased my future iphone in Apple ratail Store, and it costs 650$. Can you help me with answer?

    taking it gently is irrelevant ,damage is not covered by warranty
    It when the iPhone fails inside 12 months and you have an expensive paper weight or return to US for service

  • Does T-Mobile contract-free iphone 5s works in India

    Does T-Mobile contract-free iphone 5s works in India, as i wish to carry one for my bro.

    The clearest answer is - UNLOCKED iphone 5S is not sold yet in US. Same was with 5 or 4S when they came out. Usually Apple does not start selling unlocked models for few month. Will it work or it will not in Argentina or France - no one here knows until they actually try, but it is not unlocked I assure you.
    You however can get unlocked 5c, cause it is not actually new model, just colored 5.

  • I bought an iphone6 T-Mobile Contract free from US. Can i gift it to my parents in India. Will a nano-SIM card with any Indian carrier work? Will my international warranty still be valid?

    I bought an iphone6 T-Mobile Contract free from US. Can i gift it to my parents in India.?
    Will a nano-SIM card with any Indian carrier work? They will have to just toss away the T-Mobile SIM and put in nano sim for any Indian carrier, right?
    Will my international warranty still be valid? In case of any repairs/services, can that be done in India? Will these services be charged while the phone is in warranty period?

    If the phone is purchased in the united states, warranty service will need to be provided in the united states.

  • How can i change my iphone mode from t-mobile contract free to unlocked?

    i actually was cheated from the online assistant!
    I always want an unlocked iphone 5s.Last time i was consulting the online agent, he or she recommanded me to choose t-mobile contract free mode.He said as long as its a nano sim card. it will work with any service
    then i took it as he suggested. today when i was asking an online agent again that if there is any kind of iphone5s works with foreign sim card. after a while, i got that the t-mobile contract free modes only work with t-mobile service within US but you can use foreign sim card when you are abroad.
    Is that a kind of cheating to make me just purchase it in the first place?
    I am really disappointed with the apple agents wether they are not honest or not professional. I think i am going to be extremely careful next time even with those seemingly official enough company
    Now does anyone know how i can change the funny t-mobile contract free mode to unlocked??
    Thanks much!

    Well the thing is Tmobile has to be the UNLOCKED version then. I have tmobile and I bought an Iphone 5s from Apple TMOBILE. Payed the 600$ and popped in my existing sim. I had no dealings with tmobile for my phone and have no contract. I should be able to go to ATT sign up and pop it in to work. So the Tmobile version is the "unlocked" version right now and a sim is included for convience.
    If you notice the bottom of the phones it says it will only work with the carrier you choose. Which is a clever way to word it. Which leads me to believe its unlocked. I payed full price so they cant "lock" it.

  • Why is T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6  not unlocked , showing * SIM not Valid* erorr outside of US?

    Just before Christmas I purchased my iPhone 6 64 at full-price from the Stonebriar Apple Store, TX. At the time of purchase, I indicated several times that I want to use my phone outside of US and Apple Store representative assured  me that my only option was  T-Mobile contract-free iPhone which came   totally unlocked and I would be able to use it internationally with no problem. I used my phone about 3 weeks in US with my prepaid AT&T SIM card without any problems and I was the happiest with my purchase but since I came back to my country my biggest nightmare has started : Just arrived at airport trying to use my local SIM, I faced the *SIM not valid* message due to a *Activation Policy*. My awful experience just started with both my family and I had the most frustrating time trying to find each other at airport. The next day when I called Apple care and explained the situation the adviser told me that although I bought the phone contract-free, my phone is now locked to AT&T and I had to contact them. I contacted AT&T several times spending countless hours to explain the situation and I spoke to near 9 different people including a manager ; at first they did not even believe me and they told me that it is impossible for AT&T to just block ppl's phones just because they activated their phone with their SIM -and it is totally making sense- but I insisted that Apple Care told me that my phone is locked by them and this is evident from their system. Anyway, one of them suggested me to request unlock my device via ATT website and I waited 4 days for their response till I received the denial because according to their record I used my prepaid service less than 6 months and I am not eligible for unlock request!!! Angry me called them again and after being on the line more that one hour, the adviser told me that my phone is not locked by them and it is actually Mercury who did this and they are the one that I had to call - at that moment I remembered that the night before I just tried my T-mobile SIM in my phone for few seconds to see what would happen and that's it - no service no activation ! When I called Apple this time and after speaking with at least 3 different pple, they told me that their system is  actually unable to show which carrier has locked the device and they could only see which SIM card is the last one used in the phone  and the problem is merely because of a latent Activation Policy  that some iPhones can be used only in US and nowhere else and in US you may use it with different carriers but it does not mean that the phone is unlocked, and my only option is to contact the Apple Store I made my purchase to see whether they can(!! it is up to them to do it, they can easily say they can not) exchange the phone or not ! I told them that it is impossible for me to go there because I will not come back to US in next 9 months and I do not have access to any apple stores in my country, but this is the only thing that they could do , to say that they were sorry for the inconvenience.
    The sad part of story is that after waiting 2 weeks without phone and  spending more than 100$ to make international phone calls, this is the only answer they had for me. It is very hard for me to believe that Apple does not have any control over their own Activation Policy  and for some one with my situation they are completely clueless.   Apart from being  frustrated, I am very disappointed with Apple and their costumer care because the advisers seemed very confusing or maybe they themselves were confused even more ! It is very abusive and it is like that I am robbed almost 1000$. Please help if you have the same experience or if you suggest that it is a good idea to file a complaint !

    I managed to chat with an Apple Online Store representative, and he assured me that if purchased online it's completely unlocked from day 1...
    So i guess that counts as official confirmation.
    I'm still worried though, something is not right with all this contradicting information, or it's probably just marketing!
    I know they are in the business of making profit and I myself work in an Apple related business, but i have to stress that there are moral and freedom-of-market issues with locked phones, they really are illegal in many countries (correct if you ask me).
    Locked phones paid full price is troll, really makes no sense at all!

  • Can i use iPhone T-mobile contract free version outside USA with any carrier?

    Hello everyone,
    I am planning to purchase the iPhone 6 via Apple online store, on or after september 19th.
    I am living in Sri Lanka and obviously we do not have AT&T or any other service providers listed, here. My only option would be to buy the T-mobile 'contract-free' version if I am not willing to wait till Apple releases an unlocked 'sim-free' version within next few months. Therefor, I want to confirm and make sure that I can use the iPhone T-Mobile version with any carrier of my choice and is not locked only for T-mobile and can be used here in Sri Lanka.
    Hoping for your kind support
    Regards,
    Nimasha

    Hey Nicolas,
    I had the same question, so I went to the Apple chat, and I asked the same, 'cause I need an iPhone to works in South America and Europe as well.
    so what the person on the chat  answered me was that the T-mobile cellphone comes Unlocked, so you can use it anywhere.
    I Guess I can get it and now.
